The SEC remains a powerhouse in college football recruiting, with Texas and Georgia leading the way, according to USA TODAY Sports writer Paul Myerberg. The Bulldogs and Longhorns have clinched the top spots, followed closely by Alabama and Auburn.
This is what Myerberg wrote about this year’s signing day class for the Florida Gators.
USA TODAY Sports’ take on signing day
“Top recruits: WR Vernell Brown III, CB Ben Hanks Jr., EDGE Jayden Woods.
“In dire straits until the school decided to bring back coach Billy Napier for another year, the Gators’ class surged into signing day and into the top half of the SEC. Florida won in-state battles with Miami and Florida State and was able to hold onto prospects such as four-star defensive lineman Joseph Mbatchou.”
